Proposed Change to the 2nd Amendment

[satire]

Since we've all heard by now that the 2nd Amendment does not protect an individual right to keep and bear arms, I propose that we change the language of this important amendment to better reflect what it actually means. Since the 2A is really about making sure the militias can be armed properly in their defense of the state, here is the new text:

When the government sends a soldier into combat, they cannot prevent him from being armed.

Now, let's all think about this for a minute. That's what the antis really want people to believe? This interpretation would mean that we'd need a constitutional amendment to guaranty the right of fire-fighters to hoses, and so on.

"Run for your life from the man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter. So long as men live together on earth and need means to deal with one another-their only substitute, if they abandon money, is the muzzle of a gun."
